Type: Beer – Lager
Name: Staropramen
Price: $2
Made: Prague, Czechoslovakia
Alc/Vol: 5%
This beer hails all the way from the former Czechoslovakia, and I’m not sure if the other half of this beer was left in Slovakia when this country split into two or if it simply never had that ‘x’ ingrediant. This beer like the Mythos beer I sampled a few weeks ago has that skunky lager smell that is similar to Heineken. However, that pretty much ends where it resembles a quality drink.
Staropramen has a strong scent but a light taste that is barely there. It is sort of sweet, sort of bitter but completely bland all in all. It hints that it wants to give you great flavor but was clearly flung short of it’s goal. It almost tastes like it was missing the maltyness of a typical beer.
I give this beer a 1 out of 5 bananas, and that one is just because it’s beer. What is your take on this beer, did I fling an insult at your national drink? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
